Decent moderate priced speaker for large room
Thank you SO much to all of you from the AudiogoN community who took the valuable time out to respond to my inquiry. I appreciate enormously...all of your advice, your understanding and great sense humor, where applicable! 
Odd shaped speakers
Pbb, I was most certainly NOT talking aesthetics. Clearly, the notion of sparking "debate on 'industrial design' LOOKS [emphasis mine] vs. 'organic looks'" WOULD be inane. Ditto as to change for change's sake, "symbolism," vapid "marketing ploy[s]... 
Odd shaped speakers
You know, when I consider the shape of all things natural, the essence of sound/music itself and the shape of the vast range of musical instruments used to MAKE the music reproduced by audio systems, i.e., the fact that not one (to the best of my ... 
Best CD scratch repair/cleaning machine
Check out the Skip Doctor at http://www.digitalinnovations.com/products/doctorMD.html.It works like a charm. 
My first Jazz cd
Clearly excellent advice from all prior posts. If I might suggest a different twist...if you haven't already done so, I would recommend if possible you take in a live session at an intimate jazz club venue. I think you'll come away with a much hei... 
GONER virus on the loose
Thanks much for the heads up. 
Any great speakers out there?
Thanks much, Timwat. Glad you got a kick out of the auction as well. 
Any great speakers out there?
Drrdiamond: With all due respect, "the moderator" didn't catch my "CHEATING" by reason of the fact that your "opinion" is wholly without merit. Clearly, the reference to my auction at eBay should be recognized by one and all as NOT having been off... 
Any great speakers out there?
Kwb and/or those who haven't seen this one yet who might enjoy a bit of levity: I presently have an auction running at eBay of a pair of speakers that DO seem to live up to your standard, i.e., they bring tears to my eyes, albeit NOT by way of the... 
Speakers for the party system
Maybe I'm missing something here, but to me it would seem the obvious choice for your party/"wild dancing" needs, i.e., "...speakers that will really fill this room with booty moving magic," would be to petition the audiophile gods for clemency an... 
Am i going crazy
No, you're definitely not going crazy, Yamski. Rather, you have just been introduced to the realm of vintage audio gear lust; a very legitimate alternative/opposite end of the spectrum to chasing the so-called latest and greatest. Why not just sit... 
Celebrities A/V systems - any interest?
I may get hammered by the masses on this and as well, please don't allow my opinion to in any way discourage you, Plato, but in light of most reactions or lack of same from our so-called "celebrities" in response to recent observations they haven'... 
Which DAC is supposed to be better?
Hey, sorry guys (Leo and Tim): I see I mistakenly addressed my response to Tim, instead of Leo. 
Suggestions on new website
Mitja: I just had enough time presently to do a cursory checkout of the one page, "Christos Skaloumbakas's System" and from what I glean, this http://www.arduman.com/aa/Sayfalar/friends.htm Web site you have recommended seems like a really cool pr... 
Which DAC is supposed to be better?
Tim: I currently have a Cal Sigma II DAC with the 24 bit upgrade in "as new" condition listed here at Audiogon for $550 shipped. Understand it is not my intent (nor has it ever been or should it be) to use this discussion medium to hawk a sale. Me...
